PRESERVING SMALL FRUITS

About this season of the year the
small fruits receive a good deal of at
tention in the home, and the housewife
is kept busy making buildings, pies,
sauces and many other kinds of dishes
out of the above articles But this
season will be of short duration, and
she, knowing this full we'll, prepares to
lay in a supply of these fruits for
winter use. If she is well expert
enced in this line of work she gener-
ally succeeds in having through the
winter a good assortment of very nice
preserves, and if she is inexperienced,
she either doesn't attempt to put up
anything, p~referfing to rely on store
articles of this kind, or for some rea-
son, to her unknown, she loses in most
cases all, or very nearly all, she pre-
pares, by fermentation. 1t is a dis
couraging thing for a housewife of this
kind, after spending time and money,
in the hope that her preserves would
be a tasty addition to her winter fare,
to find upon opening them that they
are utterly ruined. For such a woman
a few hints on preserving may not
come amiss, while the experienced
housewife may find in them something
that may help to tighten her task.
It is of the greatest Importance that
the jars used should be air-tight, as
the failure of this is the chef cause Of
fermentation. If those having rubber
rings are used, new rings should be
boughttto take the place Of the old
each time used. They will only cost
a few cents, and if the cover is screwed
down tightly, there is little risk of the
preserves fermenting. The glass cover
with metal fastener is preferred by
some housewives, and many still cling
to the old-fashioned sealing wax. This
is made from one ounce of beeswax,
one ounce of shellac and eighteen
ounces ofresin melted together. Dip
into this mixture a strong piece Of
muslin large enough to cover the top
of bottle or Jar, and when hot tie on
tight. Another way, and by those
who have used it claimed to be the
best, is simplysa piece of sheet cotton
batting tied tightly over the mouth of
the jar. It is said that fruit covered
in this way will keep indefinitely. A
friend of the writer has covered her
preserves with cotton batting for the
last two seasons, and declares she shall
never use any other cover, for it is SO
easy done, and she has not lost a bot
tie by Representation while using it,
For boiling berries and other fruits
the time varies According to the kind.
For raspberries six minutes is required,
while blackberries only need FIVE. In.
the same way do they vary in regard
to the quantity OF, sugar used for each,
raspberries requiring but four ounces,

SUMMER

I love midsummer sunsets, rolled
} Down the rich west in waves Of gold, ..t
With blazing crests of billowy fire
But when those crimson foods retire
In noiseless ebb, low surging, grand, ia
BY pensive twilight's Pickering strand
In gentler mood / love to mark
The slow gradations of the dark;
Till 10 F! from Orient's mist withdrawn,
Hail I to the moons respondent dawn;
On dusky vale and haunted plain
He ~effiuence falls like balmy rain;
Gaunt CULTS of shadow own her might i
She bathes the rescued world in light,
So that, albeit my summers day I q"
Erewhile did breathe its life away, AFR
Methinks, whate'er it's hours had won
OF beauty born from shade and sun, r.
Hath not perchance so wholly died..
But DER the moonlight's silvery tide
Comes back sublimed and purified. o.

HINTS TO -HoUsEKEEPERs.

Bread should not be exposed to the
air. / IIE ~,f#s
A rice pudding is good without eggs
if baked gently.
All salted provisions must be kept
under the brine |}fi
In boiling a pudding leave room for
it to swell. If cooked in a mould do
not fill it full.
The white of an egg, with a little
water and sugar, is good for children
with an irritable stomach.
Burberry stains may be removed
from table linen by putting the part
stained into boiling water.
Bar soap, when first bought, should
be cut in square pieces and put in a
dry place. It lasts better after shrink
ing.
For sumac (dogwood) posing make
a strong solution of alum water and
battle the affected parts freely for a
few times and it will effect a cure.
When the knives and forks are
stained with egg scour them with COM
mon table salt. Medicine stains can
be removed from spoons in the same
manner.
